That `heavy numeric number-crunching' term you've used; that shit doesn't exist. It doesn't exist in computers, it doesn't exist in mathematics. It's just some abstract general bullshit term to describe something you simply do not have a grasp of, naive faggot. tl;dr everything has been already said in

I know at least of one university that teaches FORTRAN. You know why this happens? INCOMPETENCY OF THE PROFESSORS. A proper first course on programming would be flexible; let the student decide in which language to write his/her program, let it be C, OCaml, prolog, haskell, lisp, factor, pseudocode, whatnot. If HE/SHE decides to include a full definition of his programming language before using it, it should be valid. BEFUNGE93? Sure. LOLCODE? ok. It's not a real issue, because most would write in C or Java anyway. I'd give bonus points to anyone who would write proper pseudocode. Are you from russia by any chance?

Nothing that nobody would ever say would make it ok to ``teach'' MS products in universities.
